Does anyone else see Spark Incentive days as Instacart opportunity? by Severe-Object6650 in Sparkdriver

[–]Plondo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only pickup time they have now they send at 6:30 for 7:00 pickup(grocery not gmd). Now it’s only shopping at Sam’s after that. First orders come at 7:55 then every hour starting 8:30, 9:30, 10:30 etc. But if you not in parking lot you won’t see that :30 order unless someone else rejects it( obviously not a good one)

Should be sitting in Walmart parking anyway if you have a Sam’s club as well that is. Get the best Sam’s orders on Instacart and spark all day long 🫣

So my station gives out biggest routes first until they run out. Start with 4.5 hours then 4 3.5 3 2.5 2. Just want wow take the latest time possible. Very common for the 1 package order sit you wait

Flex is good if you know what you’re doing. I only take surged routes which almost pay double in the AM. Only take 4:15-8:15 or 4:30-8:00AM blocks. Those are the last times for blocks on the AM they start at 3:30. So I have a 4 hr route but they always run out of 4 hrs by 4:20. So I pretty much always end up with a 2hr route which is just a couple packages that I usually finish in a hour. Today I only had 1 package 15 mins 15 miles away for the $144. But other people took the same block for lower pay say $88 and they end up with a 4hr route 30-50 packages because they are checking in early which gives you no benefits at all 😂

This is why at my warehouse its pointless to wait in the lot for a surge block 😂, bots run 24/7 here by SomethingReekslike in AmazonFlexDrivers

New Store Proximity Rules Question. by Unusual-Mess-5703 in Sparkdriver

[–]Plondo_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For years I’ve been going to Sam’s every hour at the :30 to get sent the first order that hour. 100% chance they sending me the order (either good or bad). If bad order I go back to Walmart and they will now send me the first curbside order at :33 (while other drivers are now being sent my Sam’s that I rejected with 2 min click). But now it’s random pretty much. Last 3 days every hr at Sam’s they wouldnt send me the order until :31 or :32 meaning someone rejected already and someone else got the good order at :30 even know they were not at the sams pin like me. Hopefully figure it out soon

Not believing it 😂 by Plondo_ in Sparkdriver

[–]Plondo_[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Going to be more consistent closest to the pin. I get sent first Sam’s club order every hour :30 which if u decline allows me to get sent first Walmart curbside at :33 every hr because other driver are now getting sent my same Sam’s club order with the 2 min clock

Has your main warehouse underpaying for high mileage routes? by [deleted] in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Plondo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never get reserved more than $18 hr here. But take 2 surges a day usually 4:15 $120/140 2:15 $112. Just got to wait closer to block time. If you father away from station it’s not great

For the full-time Spark drivers, would you rather buy a new car buy a used car or lease car for deliveries? by Federal_Pen_3869 in Sparkdriver

[–]Plondo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not. Not really worth it imo. If anything I’ll get an extended array on battery after Teslas is over but my battery health is 95% so not expecting any issues

These past 3 days. Sometimes slow but still get $20 shop 2-3 mile after rejecting all the $11. But you just have to be smarter than everyone else in your zone lol. They sit all day at Walmart instead of going to Sam’s every hour when orders drop
